The tail should indicate the maximum, but you can manually reduce it. My assumption is that somehow it has been manually reduced.Yes but shouldnt it sense the correct Amps?

My experience @ausrod has been that you should always also take a UMC adaptor set as a backup to your EVSE. Having been stranded in the outback by EVSE failure, actually I now have 2 UMC's with adaptors as well as my brand new Juice Booster 2 which I'll try out on Sat !
You bet - he wimped out of the rematch!But you're now the Nanutarra roadhouse Chess champion Richard.
The Euro tail is an adaptor (purchased from Tesla for about $130) that plugs into the UMC that came with your car. Unfortunately, it is meant to plug into a European 3 phase socket so you then need a Euro to Oz adapter. This kit is then good to 16 AMP 3 phase regardless of the Euro to Oz adapter you get (I recommend the 32 AMP one). In other words uping your on board charger will have no effect.
The CHAdeMO is a DC adapter to allow the fast CHAdeMO DC charger to plug into the Tesla; again purchased from Tesla for about $800.
Your full kit should then look like UMC, Euro adapter, Euro to Oz adapter and CHAdeMO and, of course, you can still charge at the various Tesla destination chargers and SuperChargers.
The manual says it remembers the setting even when unplugged. So, if it was somehow manually reduced, it would stay that way regardless of time or distance.I would agree it could have been manually reduced except it was tried an hour apart and 50km apart. I wonder if the tail is somehow sensing wronglly?
Never needed an extension; always parked against the socket.Hi Ray,
Did u use a 32 amp 3 phase 5 pin extension cord or have one in your boot? Or is the UMC plus Euro to Au adapter generally long enough to reach the 3 amp power point?
Remembers the setting by GPS (the car remembers).The manual says it remembers the setting even when unplugged. So, if it was somehow manually reduced, it would stay that way regardless of time or distance.
I was specifically talking about the JuiceBooster2 amperage setting. The car's setting is a separate thing. The car adjusts the number on the left (20/20) while the EVSE adjusts the number on the right.Remembers the setting by GPS (the car remembers).
Rarely required as Ray says, but if anybody is interested in getting one, 15m is a great length for a 3 phase extension cable and covers virtually every situation. Thanks @ColinA for suggesting that length to me!Never needed an extension; always parked against the socket.
Ok - so i have supposedly upgraded over the air the charger. I bought a juice booster - when plugged into a 3 phase 32a outlet it charges at 20A and says 240V. Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Max charge about 50km per hour.
TEsla said this:
“The high power charging upgrade will only change the “charger type” from “Single Limited” to “Tesla Single” So, in the Garage configuration page, the charger type will be displayed as:
Charger Type: TeslaSingle
And also if the customer has our wall connector wired as 3-phase, he/she should be able to charge at 24A 3-phase instead of 16A 3phase”
Below is a screenshot of your vehicle config to confirm:
Does anyone have any idea?
Why would u buy a juice booster 2 for more than 1k when u can buy a whole new wall charger with extended lead for $850. I mean u could just stick a 3 phase plug on the wall charger and stick it in the boot can't u? Am I missing something here?
Does the JB2 come complete with the different tails and plugs or do u buy them separately?
Ok if I want to buy one, evnomics is out of stock. Any other place?
You need a decent inventory/store software solution that does it automagically.It's true, one of my biggest failings as a webstore owner is changing the stock levels -_-
I've got a few pre-orders and there's another shipment coming. Just trying to get word from the manufacturer when they can be shipped. I'll update the store now!
